When you receive your Ledger device, ensure the package is sealed and hasn't been tampered with. Inside, you'll find:
Security is paramount when setting up your Ledger device. Follow these essential steps:
Ledger Live is your companion application for managing your crypto assets. To get started:
Ledger devices use a secure element chip, the same technology used in passports and credit cards, to provide the highest level of protection for your private keys.
Support for over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens, with continuous additions through regular firmware updates and new app installations.
Ledger Live provides an intuitive interface for managing your portfolio, making transactions, and tracking your assets in real-time.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your cryptocurrency holdings. It allows you to recover your assets if your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
This phrase generates all your private keys, meaning anyone with access to it can control your funds. Store it securely, preferably in multiple physical locations, and never share it with anyone.
Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase. Beware of phishing attempts and only enter your recovery phrase directly on your Ledger device when prompted during the recovery process.
The original hardware wallet, perfect for beginners with essential security features.
Enhanced version with more memory and a larger screen for improved usability.
Premium device with Bluetooth connectivity and expanded storage for advanced users.
Regularly update your Ledger device firmware through Ledger Live to ensure you have the latest security enhancements and features.
Keep your recovery phrase safe and accessible. Consider using a metal backup solution for fire and water protection.
Only install apps from the official Ledger Live manager, and always verify transaction details on your device screen before confirming.
